0139 The Most Proud All-Star

On February 2, the Thunder will play against the Hawks at home.

After reading the scout report before the game, Su Yang decided to let the players play freely and not be worried about losing.

The main Hawks have no progress in offense and defense. Their head coach Mike Woodson has also lacked reactions on the spot, and the lineup cannot beat the Thunder. If you want to win, you can only rely on Jamal Crawford to win the game. The chance is lower than winning the five million lottery.

In the first half, Westbrook and Green made 3 of 12 shots in the Thunder, which made him a little crazy. But the two were very strong in defense, which led to Josh Smith and Mike Bibby making 2 of 9 shots, helping the Thunder and the Hawks to tie.

In the second half, the Hawks adjusted their defensive strategy and boldly slapped Sefrosa, who had a three-point deviation many times, intending to double-team Westbrook. Unfortunately, Joe Johnson double-teamed like a formality. He didn't work hard, either he was slow to get in place or he didn't fight.

In that way, Westbrook gradually found his form, broke through the basket and scored many assists.

Regarding Westbrook's brave performance, Hawks head coach Woodson yelled and strengthened his defense, and there was no other way.

Su Yang was happy to be idle. He chatted with several assistant coaches about what transaction rumors were. Naturally, he talked about Arenas' injury and was reimbursed again, and the Wizards might rebuild, and many players would be put on the shelves.

As we chatted, after the game, the Thunder won 106-92, and Westbrook won 121010 triple-double.

After playing against the Hawks, the whole team flew to New Orleans overnight to challenge the fragmented Hornets back to back.

Seeing Paul absent due to injury, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh that luck was aroused. Paul was the second MVP in 2007-08, leading the team to the Western Conference semi-finals, and his future was bright. Who would have thought that in the next two seasons, either the team's main player was injured or the management was insane, Paul himself was also injured, and he was ruined to the rise period and there was no chance for the playoffs.

The game started at 7 o'clock, and the third quarter turned into garbage time before the game was finished. The Thunder won 113 to 92 in the end.

The team got a three-day vacation and flew directly to San Francisco as planned to challenge the Golden State Warriors.

After the plane landed, Su Yang did not go to the hotel with the team, but ran to the company for a walk.

After learning about the progress, he hurried back to the hotel and participated in various team training as usual.

On the afternoon of the fifth, the San Francisco Times interviewed him on a telephone interview and asked him how to balance the identities of the team's head coach and the company boss. After all, both identities require a lot of time, and he seems to have not been affected and his grades are pretty good.

Su Yang emphasized that Jiang Ruolan would work hard and praised the coaching staff for their professionalism and high work efficiency.

On the morning of the sixth, the interview was reported and Su Yang took a photo and sent it to Jiang Ruolan, and received a reply to a hug expression.

The game started at 6 pm. The Thunder's regular starting lineup, and the Warriors, the starting players sent by Old Nelson were Curry, Evans, Kabby Caul, Mageti, and Biderlins. The starting players were less than two meters tall.

In that lineup, the Warriors' overall defense depends entirely on position and rotation, which is quite poor in rebound protection.

As for one-on-one defense, Curry only had two steals, making the Warriors seem to have no zero single defense ability.

Su Yang instructed the Thunder generals to double-team and use their height advantage to score a long pass, which made it difficult for the Warriors to attack.

After the game, Westbrook made 8 steals, helping the Thunder win easily, and only 1 rebound was left to get a triple-double.

After playing against the Warriors, the Thunder flew to Portland. It was another three days of holiday, and the fucking schedule caused complaints from the whole team.

The whole team stayed in the hotel, and Harden suggested playing the halo game he was best at, and everyone was bored and reluctantly agreed.

Su Yang formed a team with Harden again and won several games in a row. Durant and others couldn't beat him and threw his handles out of anger.

After the break, Durant proposed to re-detach the team and wanted to join the combination of Su Yang and Harden.

Westbrook complained that Durant could not beat him and joined, and everyone played several more games while chatting and laughing.

No.9, Thunder and Trail Blazers match day.

During pre-match training, Su Yang deliberately ran to the Trail Blazers locker room to comfort Roy who was reimbursed for the season.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Yang specifically instructed Roy that he must recover until he was completely healthy this time. He must not do anything to catch up with the new season. He will not do anything to get the team doctor's stupid thing about the remaining meniscus, and he must not do it.

Roy agreed casually, but didn't seem to take it seriously. Su Yang could only sigh that everyone has their own destiny.

After coming out of the locker room, he met McMillan and Monty, and they congratulated him on being elected as the All-Star head coach again.

As the three of them chatted, they talked about Oden's injury and reimbursement again, and McMillan was extremely depressed.

Su Yang didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had long suggested that Oden play from blue-collar workouts to strengthen leg training, but Oden did not do that. The Trail Blazers coaching staff and management also anxiously arranged Oden to start, which ended up messing around.

The key is that Oden was reimbursed for continuous injuries, but Durant moved towards the scoring champion in the same year. After comparing the two, the Trail Blazers fans felt uncomfortable. Fans of other teams were laughing at and someone had to fight to take the blame to finish the matter.

The game started at 7 o'clock, and the Thunder led by up to 16 points in the first quarter and reached 30 points at the end of the half.

But when he came back in the second half, the Trail Blazers did not give up, and the defensive end was even harder than before. Even veteran Zhu Wan Howard fought hard, and once played an 8-0 attack wave, causing cheers in the center of Rose Garden.

Su Yang was not careless or soft-hearted, and instructed Durant to play singles, using his success rate to reduce the pace of the Trail Blazers' counterattack.

As Durant scored continuously, the game situation stabilized again and the cheers in the stadium did not sound again.

Every time Durant performed strongly, he was like a needle stabbing the chest of the Trail Blazers fans, and many people left the court early.

In the fourth quarter, the game turned into garbage time. Su Yang arranged for Harden to take several water dispenser players to compete to train Harden's single-handed and organizational skills, so that the scene should not be so ugly. The Thunder finally defeated the Trail Blazers 109-89 and won six consecutive victories.

After the game, Durant and others flew directly to Dallas and prepared to participate in the 10-year All-Star Weekend.

Su Yang used his three free days to fly to San Francisco first and stayed at the company for two days to deal with various things.

On the day of leaving, Jiang Ruolan took him to the airport, took out a dress from the back seat, and said shyly: "I chose it specifically for you. This time, the All-Stars is a big scene. If you want to represent the company's image, it is necessary to be more particular..."

"Well..." Although Su Yang didn't care much about his clothes, he also understood that it was a special intention.

Moreover, this All-Star Game is indeed a big scene. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban specially invited the Dallas Cowboys to host it. The main competition will be held at the 100,000-person stadium, and big brands such as U2, JAYZ, and Beyoncé will attend.

If nothing unexpected happens, this time the All-Star will be the one with the largest number of live viewers and the highest ratings.
